Because he never forgets. Three months after the cheap fastball between the shoulder blades from Jeff Karstens to Ryan Braun, what are the odds that Karstens will come to the plate as a hitter? As a reliever? It matters not to Ken Macha, who clearly ordered a code red in the form of a fastball to the back of Karstens. Fucking loved it. Will there be repercussions tonight?
IN OTHER NEWS
-The Twins fucking melted down. Which is nice.
-Jack Nicholson is either senile, or should stick to basketball, or both. I saw hit on SportsCenter this morning at a Phillies-Cubs game, wearing a Yankees hat. What the fuck? Dude, first of all, you live in LA. Shouldn't you be at a Dodger or Angel game? Second of all, I don't have a problem with going to a random game elsewhere, but do you think you could have either a) just combed your fucking hair or b) wore a plain hat or c) wore a Phillies hat? There is no way you are even a Yankee fan. You are just wearing it to "look cool". Nothing pisses me off more than to see someone at a Brewer-Cub game with a Pirates hat on. Or at a Packer-Panther game with a Bears jersey on (saw it this year). Fucking either go to your team's game, or tone it down. There should be a rule that you are automatically ejected from the premises if you have random team apparel on.

Brew Crew Hangover
A few random thoughts from last night's tenth inning sexual assault:
- Does anyone REALLY think Mat Gamel is any worse at third than Billy Hall? Even if he may fuck up a routine play here or there (which he really hasn't done), is it worth the clear dropoff offensively? I think that any thoughts Macha may have had about whether he could hit a lefty changed last night with that bomb in the 8th. McGehee probably is still the starter until proven otherwise right now though.
-Jody Gerut is fucking useless. He really is a waste of space. He has established himself as Bill Hall's outfield twin. We now have to guys who can't hit at all on our everyday bench. We don't have some random utility guy in AAA that can hit .200? Hernan Irribarren wouldn't improve the club? I understand not bringing up Escobar right now, because there isn't room to play him, and he should play every day.
- The only thing that would've made last night's meltdown better is if either Matty Wise, Eric Gagne or Derrick Turnbow had come out of the bullpen after Villa refused to get anyone out, and they gave up like 5 more runs. Oh, and if 2008 Rickie Weeks booted one. We did get a Billy Hall boot at least.
- Can we safely say that Villa isn't good? He now has a 6.41 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP. How can he be relied on in key spots? I know there wasn't much choice last night. He really should be about the last one trotted out there until he goes on a long stretch of not sucking. We've got some really decent arms in the bully right now, that probably aren't given enough respect by Macha (DiFelice, Stetter, Smith). Personally, I think Stetter should be a set up guy, and not just a lefty specialist. Coffey/Stetter in the 8th, DiFelice 7th, Smith 6th, Villa/McClung/Burns when we are down/up by 7 runs.
-The highlights of the game for me last night were: 1) Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder making fun of Telly Hughes for being fat; 2) Macha refusing to even look at Villa when he came to take him out. He might have murdered him last night.
-We are closer to 5th place than 1st place in the division right now.
-How the fuck did the mildly terrible Jonathan Sanchez throw a no-no? He is almost the exact same pitcher as Manny Parra (young, Hispanic, lefty, great stuff, taken out of the rotation for sucking). Maybe that is a good sign?
